"Ghosts, a century old scandal, and a sweet romance thrown in..."
Ghosts, a century old scandal, and a sweet romance thrown in...the final book in Nora Roberts' In the Garden trilogy has it all.
Hayley Phillips traveled to Memphis, pregant and alone, to start a new life for herself and her unborn daughter after the death of her father. She left what she knew for the unknown. She took a chance on asking a distant cousin, Roz Harper, for help (a place to stay and a job) and ended up finding the love of a lifetime in Roz's son Harper Ashby.
Like the first two books in this series, I was drawn in immediately and loved every minute of the suspense of figuring out what happened to the Harper Bride. I also was kept on edge wondering if she would hurt either Hayley or Harper. Not to mention falling in love with sweet, hunky Harper and routing for the quirky, fun-loving Hayley.
This is a fantastic finale to the In the Garden stories. I'd recommend this book to anyone.

Book Description for Red Lily
A Harper has always lived at Harper House, the centuries-old mansion just outside of Memphis. And for as long as anyone alive remembers, the ghostly Harper Bride has walked the halls, singing lullabies at night...
Hayley Phillips came to Memphis hoping for a new start, for herself and her unborn child. She wasn't looking for a handout from her distant cousin Roz, just a job at her thriving In the Garden nursery. What she found was a home surrounded by beauty and the best friends she's ever had-including Roz's son Harper. To Hayley's delight, her new daughter Lily has really taken to him. To Hayley's chagrin, she has begun to dream about Harper-as much more than a friend...
If Hayley gives in to her desire, she's afraid the foundation she's built with Harper will come tumbling down. Especially since she's begun to suspect that her feelings are no longer completely her own. Flashes of the past and erratic behavior make Hayley believe that the Harper Bride has found a way inside of her mind and body. It's time to put the Bride to rest once and for all, so Hayley can know her own heart again-and whether she's willing to risk it...
